It’s coming up to Christmas and I’ve been thinking about getting in touch with a few people I haven’t spoken to in a long time. Family, old friends. I keep picking up the phone and putting it back down again. I’m not sure how that conversation would even start, or if they’d take the call.
I thought keeping busy might help. Reading, watching television. It does for a bit. Long enough that I convince myself I’ve been giving this more headspace than it deserves.
Then my mind goes straight back to those symbols.
I don’t really know why they’ve stuck with me like this. I’ve seen plenty of stupid things carved into trees over the years and never given them a second thought. These just won’t let go.
I’m going to take my phone out with me on the next walk and try getting a few pictures that way instead of waiting to finish the reel in the old camera. It feels a bit impatient, but I’d rather have something concrete to look at than keep replaying it all in my head.
I’ll get to the bottom of it. One way or another.
